It looks like the entire world is spitting out gold and silver as an investment or hedge, as the prices of both precious metals were tumbling in the past few weeks. Well, at least the demand for gold and silver ‘paper’ isn’t anymore what it used to be, but the demand for physical silver is really booming.

Reports have reached us from Germany that the demand for silver is really surging, and this is an interesting sentiment meter because Germany usually acts as one of the main distribution centers for the European Union. Several large bullion dealers have seen the demand for silver increase, and in just the next few days after last week’s crash, almost all dealers sold as many silver coins in just three days as they usually do in an entire month.   Continue reading “The US Government Doesn’t Want You To Know There’s A Run On Silver Bullion”

New York federal prosecutor Loretta Lynch, the new nominee for attorney general, has a career filled with high profile cases — and she was a member of Bill Clinton’s defense team during the 1992 Whitewater corruption probe.

As he made his announcement Saturday afternoon, Obama called the two-time U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York a “tough, fair and independent” lawyer.

“It’s pretty hard to be more qualified for this job than Loretta Lynch,” Obama said.   Continue reading “Obama’s Attorney General Nominee Loretta Lynch Represented Clintons During Whitewater”

President Barack Obama committed U.S. military forces to border security Wednesday, calling it his “No. 1 focus.”

Unfortunately, he wasn’t talking about the U.S. border with Mexico, but the border between Iraq and Syria.

Obama said renewed efforts to strengthen the border were necessary to prevent dangerous militants from crossing between the countries at will, according to Real Clear Politics.   Continue reading “Obama commits U.S. military to border security efforts … but not in America”

The credit card industry got a huge boost from President Obama last month when he signed an executive order requiring a switch to chip-and-pin technology for government vendors and agencies.

It dictates the Department of the Treasury “take necessary steps” to guarantee payment terminals authorized by the agency have “enhanced security features” by January 2015. It would require a complete upgrade of all credit card machines approved by the Department of Treasury, a cost borne by government agencies instead of credit card firms.   Continue reading “Obama issues credit card industry bailout by executive order”

President Obama and his administration have been lying to the American public about the existential threat posed to the country by the illegal border invasion crisis.

They have lied about how many people are coming across the border, where they are coming from, how many are sick, how many have criminal records, and how many have been deported.

They have even threatened journalists who tried to report the truth on some of those things.   Continue reading “Obama Censored This Massive Border Info to Try to Rig Midterm Elections”

The war in Afghanistan may be coming to a close, but the commanding general of the 3rd Infantry Division is calling on his soldiers to stay focused as they prepare to deploy.

“There is still a mission in Afghanistan,” said Maj. Gen. Mike Murray. “The mission is not to get equipment and people out of theater. That has to happen to meet the presidential guidance. It’s maintaining the right mindset for my staff, in balancing the requirements of the [Train, Advise and Assist Commands] and the advisers and the Security Force Assistance Brigades.”   Continue reading “3rd ID commander readies his troops for Afghanistan”

Some 1,500 more U.S. troops are heading to Iraq but not into direct combat with Islamic State militants, President Barack Obama, who spoke about Iraq, Iran, immigration and the Democratic losses in Congress, said Sunday on CBS “Face the Nation.” The additional troops double the current U.S. presence in Iraq to slightly more than 3,000 soldiers.

“Phase 1 was getting an Iraqi government that is inclusive and credible,” Obama said. “We now have done that. So now what we’ve done, rather than just halt ISIL’s [the Islamic State also referred to as ISIS] momentum, we’re now in a position to go on some offense. Airstrikes have been very effective in degrading ISIL’s capabilities and halting ISIL’s advance. Now what we need is ground troops, Iraqi ground troops to push them back. … Our troops are not engaged in combat.”   Continue reading “President Obama On ‘Face The Nation’: 1,500 Additional U.S. Troops In Iraq Will Not Be In Combat”
